Prepping Food in Mylar Bags

Recently I decided to work on my food storage again. I just want to be prepared for “whatever.” I actually love my job of feeding my family (though I still have the exhausted “I don’t want to cook” days like everyone else). Most of the time, though, I get such a thrill from feeding my […]

4 Routines to an Always-Clean Kitchen

My mom gave me a little magnet with an inspirational quote. She suggested I could put it on my fridge. My mom and I are very open with each other without being offended, so I reminded her “I don’t put anything on my fridge … and you don’t either.” šŸ˜‚ I put the magnet on my simple command […]

When in doubt, toss it out!

This week in my pantry I came across the bread machine. Oh, the bread machine. A few of my children have been diagnosed with extreme gluten allergies over the last couple of years, so this bread machine has sat un-used for just as long. (And please don’t come at me about the gluten thing. I’m […]

A New Way to Line Kitchen Drawers

After spending thousands of dollars in our renovation on beautiful hand-stained wood cabinets, it hurt my heart to think of ruining it with adhesive drawer liner. But, it also hurt my heart to think about crumbs and drips of liquid ruining the beautiful stained wood. I know there are temporary, non-adhesive liner paper, but I […]

Oil Your Cutting Board!

The exclamation is for me – I’m yelling at myself for letting my cutting boards get so dry. I mean, it is the easiest little chore ever to oil them up. It takes literally less than 5 minutes to do. (And I’m not using literally in a figurative way, it literally takes less than 5 […]

Cleaning Champion: Affresh Dishwasher and Washing Machine Tablets

This post is not sponsored by Affresh. It is happening because Amazon, who knows a lot about what I buy, kept recommending them to me. No joke, every time I’d go to shop, these babies would be “Recommended for you.” Well, the joke’s on me, because the not-so-sneaky advertising worked. What’s a girl supposed to […]

After Dinner Jobs

My kitchen is usually clean. Of course, we aren’t robots, so you’ll occasionally find a mess. Most of the time, though, the kitchen is pretty clean. That is no small miracle considering the abuse the kitchen takes every day from all of us that live here. The secret to being mostly clean are habits. The […]

Organize the Kitchen (Love Home Challenge)

The kitchen is the most abused room in my house. There are countless groceries going in, trash and recycling going out. Cabinets and drawers are under a constant rotation of stuff. Counters and appliances get dirty daily with use. The spaces we don’t touch and use regularly get way grosser than places ignored in other […]

Clean Out Leftover Containers

I’ve posted about leftover containers before. I have strong opinions about this. I’ve dropped many pointed comments over the years. I know, it is kind of weird to have strong opinions about leftover containers. But, I do. It is hard not to after helping countless clients organize their kitchens. I saw the same thing over […]

Tour My {new} Pantry

This is the 3rd pantry I’ve shown on the blog over the years, because we’re in the third house since I started writing this blog more than 7 years ago. I hope this is my pantry for a very very long time. We really love it here. It looks so much like my last one, […]
